	I've already played the published one, but this is much better.

	You should accept simply Yaren and Tarawa (or more correctly South Tarawa) for Nauru and Kiribati. I couldn't for the life of me work out why neither of those would work.

	I like how accurate you've been with Yaren District for the Nauru answer and Tarawa Atoll for Kiribati - I imagine those two will stump quite a few people, I think I've seen it as South Tarawa Atoll as well. good quiz

	beckala63:	Sep 17th, 2010 at 00:10 GMT	4 points
	The CIA World Factbook lists Tarawa as the capital of Kiribati. Why do people argue and say it should be South Tarawa or Tarawa Atoll? Similarly people argue over whether the capital of Sri Lanka is Colombo (as the Factbook lists) or Sri Jayewardenepura Kotte (which is listed as a legislative capital but not the main one). I just don't understand where the confusion comes from, so if someone could please explain it to me, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

	Many Pacific nations have their atolls as their official capital, not the actual village, or even island, the government resides in. In Tuvalu, the government locales are in the village of Vaiaku, on the island of Fongafale, in the atoll of Funafuti. Kiribati's capital is in the village of Bairiki, on the island of South Tarawa, in the atoll of Tarawa. All three should be accepted answers, as all of them can be used. Forcing us to enter "atoll" and "district" is unnecessary though, it would be like having the capital of the US as "Washington, District of Columbia".

	TJL:	Sep 17th, 2010 at 01:26 GMT	2 points
	Yeah, Tarawa and Yaren need to be accepted. Also, just a suggestion, make the time limit 20 minutes and check the "Randomize order of answers" box. That way, they don't know what's coming next, which is good for these types of quizzes

	@1447 - Thanks for the explanation!! :-)

	Can I have a cookie now?

	masaeaida:	Sep 17th, 2010 at 20:00 GMT	2 points
	@beckala63: I think the issue with Sri Lanka is that Sri Jayawardenapura Kotte is a small suburb well within the core of the Colombo metro area and a lot of government offices are still in Colombo proper (really the "change" was just a matter of building a new parliament building a few miles up the street from the old one). Nevertheless, the factbook and the other sources that list Colombo are just wrong; Colombo has no official status (some of the sources call it the "commercial capital" or "cultural capital", but those terms have no legal meaning) and these sources need to get with the program. It probably doesn't help that "Sri Jayawardenapura Kotte" is an incredibly unwieldy name that doesn't even have a standard English spelling, but that's the capital.

	please accept yaoundé, that is how it is properly spelled

	elchasai:	Nov 23rd, 2010 at 20:13 GMT	2 points
	if you didnt force people to write atoll after tarawa, i would have got them all...so thanks for listing an unnecessary geographical feature in the answer...i know what my score really is. btw, yangon is not the capital of myanmar anymore. the hague should be acceptable for the netherlands, cape town and bloemfontain for RSA, sri jayawardanapura kotte for sri lanka as well as colombo and sucre for bolivia. also you should accept cotonou for benin, abidjan for cote d'ivoire, valparaiso for chile, putrajaya for malaysia, lobamba for swaziland and dodoma for tanzania, esp. since dodoma is the only official capital of tanzania but keep dar es on there. and yaren should be accepted for nauru, bairiki, tarawa, and south tarawa obviously for kiribati and vaiaku, fongafale and funafuti for tuvalu...because they are listed that way in competing sources simultaneously those answers are correct.
